That's so weird!
Here, Walmart fast-food offerings are the sovereign domain of McDonald's.It would be like a TacoBell suddenly switching to Coke Products instead of Pepsi

@RyeNCode My local WalMart used to have a McDonald's in it. I also still remember the Capilano Mall in Edmonton where the WalMart had a McDonald's in it, as well as a standalone one in the parking lot, and another one across the street!
So I wonder if this is just the first step (a trial run) into a chain-wide switch from McDonald's to Burger King. There were almost no Burger Kings in the entire city of Calgary before now, so this could be the start of the chain's re-expansion.
